Jim Coates just doesn't like our (colored) people. It is as simple as that." This open and undiluted charge of race prejudice was voiced by Frank Robinson, the Baltmore Orioles leading hitter and offensive star, fol lowing Tuesday's attempted "beaning" by Coates, veteran righthanded pitcher of the California Angels. ROBINSON, discussing in cidents which occurred dur - ing Tuesday's and Wednes day's games here, told the AFRO Thursday morning , that he "knows" Coates tried to hit him with a pitched ball at the height of the Angels' double shellacking by Balti more. i "It was definitely not a case of his being irked by the boating," -said Robinson. "Coates fust doesn't like our people. He has a history of racial animosity that dates j him all the way back through the minor leagues. "AS FOR his contention that he didn't try to hit me, it's ridiculous. Everybody on both clubs knew his intention. So did the fans. "There are no two ways about it. It is Jim's way of doing things when a colored plaver is involved. He hit me in the 1961 World Series when he relieved for the Yankees in the second game. ''Hank Bauer (Oriole manager) knows he tried to knock me down and said as much." Robinson concluded. BAUER, HIMSELF a for- ' mer teammate of Coates on the Yankees, declared: "I'd say he tried purposely to hit Frank. He's had that reputa tion for. a long time." Coates had argued tha' there was no intent in the pitch which felled Frank here Tuesday night. "I didn't hit him, did I? I' I had wanted to I sure could." AT THE same time thai Robbv confirmed his accusa tion of Coates. the Bird slug ger exonerated rookie Jim Patterson admits savvy saved him LOS ANGELES Floyd Patterson admitted Friday night that his "expe rience" saved him from a knockout at the hands of Jer ry Quarry. "Whenever a fighter goes down, he's in trouble," said the two-time former world heavyweight champi&n, fol lowing his 10-round split draw with the 22-year-old Quarry. Patterson was floored in the second round for a man datory eight count and ap peared on the verge of a kno ckout through most of the round. "My experience got me out of trouble. I was hurt, but tried not to show it. Whatever you saw me do in there when I got up was what saved me," Patterson said. • • * QUARRY said in his dress ing room he was satisfied with the decision.

Ali withdraws LBJsubpoena HOUSTON _ Attor neys for former heavyweight (Cassius Clay) said Thursday thev have withdrawn a sub poena summoning President Johnson to Clay's trial June Clay is' to be tried In U.S.' District Court for refusing to be inducted into the Army. Clay's attorneys received permission last month from U.S. District Judge Joe livg raham to subpoena the Presi dent. They said they did not want him to appear personal ly, but wanted records which he controlled. HAYDEN COVINGTON of New York, one of Clay's at torneys, said he had received the information he wanted from the records and it would not be necessary to subpoena the President. He said he had withdrawn the subpoena in a U.S. District court in Wash ington. He made the announcement at the opening of a hearing on motions by U.S. District All y . Morton Susman to quash the subpoena for the 'resident and eight other high-ranking officials. Bulls Win, 4-2 DURHAM Righthander Barry Raziano had to struggle McGlothlin, who struck him on the right hand during the 4-2 win by the Angels on Wednesday night. "Oh, that was just one of those things," said Frank, inside and tight. It was down, ipjid e oi Sui/fj} sum an,, not up in the danger zone. "It struck me.on the right hand, but x-ray showed noth ing serious. I'm sore this morning (Thursday) but I don't expect to miss any games because of the injury. "McGlothlin is a good young pitcher.
